Derby morning weather update
Happy Derby Day - but it hasn't been a happy morning for Churchill Downs track superintendent Butch Lehr.
About two inches of rain fell in Louisville this morning beginning at 4 a.m. Lehr responded by sealing the track and closing it to training. With the first race at Churchill Downs slated to go off at 10:30 a.m., the track remains sloppy and sealed. The turf is yielding, and the non-stakes races, No. 3 and No. 5, have been taken off the turf.
